Graduate Handbook (2005-2006)
Final Examination
|
After all other examinations and the dissertation have been completed, the student's committee will schedule the
final examination for the student. This examination will consist of an oral defense of the dissertation and will be
open to the public.
After consultation with the Graduate Coordinator, the major professor will publicize the time and place that the examination will be held. This announcement should be at least one week prior to the scheduled date of the examination. A pass or fail on this examination will be determined by a majority vote of the student's committee. In making its decision, the committee will give due consideration to the external examiner's assessment of the dissertation. |
